I connect a 5v 5w solar panel a usb port and a 3.7v 2.5A lipo with pcb. If I connect a phone to usb port it doesn't charge, but if I remove the battery from the circuit, it does. I suppose it's because battery pcb downgrade the voltage to 4.2v or there is not enough energy to serve both. There is a simple way to prioritize the usb or make them share? Thanks in advance for your help
PS Sorry to eventual mistakes but I'm still learning electronics. I did not blow anything yet, thanks also to t

Summary of requirement:
Given:
- 5V 5 Watt PV panel
- Cellphone with "USB" "5V" charger input.
- Single cell LiPo 3.7V nominal 2500 mAh.
Requirement:
- Use PV to charge phone if connected.
- Otherwise charge battery.
- If possible share PV energy between phone and battery if both present.
Problem:
Connecting the panel to the LiPo loads it to battery voltage which is too low a V to operate the phone charging circuit.
